The Libertines were at the vanguard of the early 2000s garage rock revival. Fronted by friends Pete Doherty and Carl Barat, the band was seen by the UK press as the next in a long line of groups animated by combustible and competitive partnerships, such as the Beatles, Oasis, and the Kinks. But despite their success, the Libertines would be plagued by internal conflicts, erratic behavior, and copious drug use. Eventually, Pete would be on the outs, drifting through London's drug scene before finding himself in prison.

Waylon Jennings’ musical career began with tragedy. On tour as the bass player for his friend Buddy Holly, Waylon gave up his seat on the tiny plane that, just hours later, crashed, killing Buddy and three others. That experience alone nearly put an end to Waylon’s musical dreams. But he continued, persevering by doing only the things he wanted to do – which included hiding his pill stash from his roommate Johnny Cash, hiding his coke stash from the DEA, and creating a county/rock hybrid that refused to conform or even obey the law.

In the late 1960s, Serge Gainsbourg carried out an illicit affair with Brigitte Bardot, not only the world’s preeminent sex symbol at the time, but a sex symbol with a powerful millionaire for a husband. Her love inspired Serge to a creative breakthrough, transforming French pop music and the music of the world while their passionate fling was busy barreling toward a doomed ending - an ending as doomed and as shocking as the end of the two outlaws they modeled their romance and their music on.

Country songwriter Townes Van Zandt was an incredible talent who toiled in obscurity. Most of his albums never sold more than a few thousand copies.

10 March 2026, 7:00 am - 39 minutes 54 secondsPublic Enemy: Revolution, Scandal, and a Message Louder than a Bomb
Public Enemy were revolutionaries – both in their message and their music. In the 1980s and 1990s, they elevated hip-hop to an art form. They did this with Chuck D's booming voice, Flavor Flav's comic levity, and the auditory assault of the Bomb Squad's production. But with that revolution came scandal. Their hype man allegedly tried to shoot his neighbor while high on crack cocaine. Their so-called "Minister of Information" was so controversial that his words alone nearly derailed the group's success. They performed at a prison – after just releasing a song about a prison break. And in the summer of 1989, Public Enemy released a song that was so powerful, it put them in the middle of the cultural zeitgeist at the very moment that it seemed they were splintering apart.
